Charlie is prepping his post-election column where he concludes that since VA7 rejected the black candidate, that is proof that the district is largely racist.
Well, no, Charlie. Virginia was not some Confederate District of Columbia. There was no "capital state."
>”When are these coming back?”<
Are you talking about the Leisure Suits or the Chevy Vega the guy has his foot on?
Answer, NEVER, for both...
As they say, those who don’t learn from history, are condemned to repeat it.
Does anyone remember this? This is what can happen, when you take a sure Republican seat and turn it into a tossup — and only the final outcome matters.
Sen. Richard Lugar defeated by tea party challenger

“Conservative rival Richard Mourdock easily wins Indiana’s Republican Senate primary over the 35-year incumbent. He will face Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly in the general election.”

Joe Donnelly upsets Richard Mourdock in Indiana

“Democratic Rep. Joe Donnelly pulled off a stunning upset over Republican Richard Mourdock in the Indiana Senate race — a battle that the GOP thought was a sure win until the final days of the campaign.”
Congressional districts are all gerrymandered, and now by computer. Voters no longer choose their representatives. The congresscritters choose their voters.
Unless Brat has a closet full of live boys or dead girls, he should be a shoo-in.
Don’t care - CANTOR IS OUT!!!
If it was the Senate, I would care, a bit. But with 435 members, the Dems can have the seat...this election was about stopping Amnesty and the loss of one House seat is more than worth it.
...and Brat will do just fine, anyway.
Obama, got 42% of the vote. Warner however won the district. It should be pretty safe for Brat.
Once the confederate capital ? I’m offended it still is !
Ah, Black Americans have been hit the hardest hit with the loss of jobs to illegal infiltrators. Why wouldn’t the vote for Brat. This would be a chance for great outside to 20% of his constituents.
I am so laughing at the dims!
The Vega was fun to drive, but not the most reliable car.
My husband bought one of those just as they were going out of style. A great buy,he said.
This is a guy that wore gray 3 piece suits,white button-down shirts,and English rep ties.
I remember it like it was yesterday. When he walked in wearing his bargain I laughed so hard I could barely stand.
He never wore it again.
Thanks for the memories.

The Army finally told its counterintelligence and criminal investigators to get new suits circa 1981 as those were now out of style. Cheap bastidges had bought them back around 1974-77 and didn’t want to update.
He even writes in ebonics. I’m guessing he don’t use no cursive.
(Barf...)
Crappola,
Blacks are disillusioned with the half breed as obammy hasn’t done squat for any of them.
You think they’ll go out in droves here?
again, crappola.
